Tennessee Valley Authority

This report, entitled “Stecoah Community, Fontana Area,” was completed in 1944 by Arnold James Hyde (1914-2010) for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Hyde was employed by the TVA to assist in the acquisition of land and relocation of residents in Graham and Swain County to make way for the Fontana Dam hydroelectric project. This report focuses on the Stecoah community and includes the communities of Japan, Tuskeegee, and Sawyer’s Creek. The report contains descriptions of the topography, history and settlement, roads, businesses, schools, and churches, demographic data, and original photographs. Hyde was born in Graham County, NC, graduated from Robbinsville High School, and then later from Western Carolina Teachers College (Western Carolina University) in 1938. He married Dorothy Roberts, of Buncombe County, NC, in 1943, and they had two daughters.
